Flying remote control aircraft can be an exciting hobby for anyone who has a love of flying. Flying these types of aircrafts can be an inexpensive substitute for the real thing, and offer a way of satisfying his or her interest in flying. Coming from a Military background this is a topic that holds great value and is essential for one who has a true interest in mechanical operations. In breaking down basic...

Abstract
In aviation, icing is one of the major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft
accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce
aircraft efficiency by increasing weight, reduce lift, decrease thrust and increase drag.
These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force
downward in flight. Over the years, aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically.
Modern day...

Aircraft Design
Early Stages to Weaponized Warbirds

Dr. JoAnne LeBeouf
Many designers have made the claim that their designs were unique, one-of-a-kind, or revolutionary, however, time has shown that design changes have been more evolutionary rather than evolutionary. In fact, during the emerging years of early aircraft, many designers incorporated many designs, and as new technologies emerged, different designers incorporated...

﻿RUSSIAN AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION
It was a day of mourning on July 10 in Russia. The country mourned for the victims of the Airbus A310 crash in Irkutsk.
It is now impossible to say exactly what caused the catastrophe. However, what happened points to the obvious conlusion that it was 75-80% people's fault rather than an equipment failure. It was people who did not provide the necessary conditions for landing. This, however, does not mean that the tragedy in Irkutsk is due only to Russian...

What Are Aircraft?
Everyone has seen a jet streaking across the sky leaving a trail of vapor as it goes. Maybe you have heard the distinct thud, thud, thud as a helicopter slows in its descent. You have probably marveled at a plane so massive that it seems to just hang in the air by some invisible force. These wonderful marvels of human engineering have captured the hearts of many. They are known the world over as aircraft. But what is an aircraft? Aircraft’s are comprised of many different...

Designing a Safer Passenger Aircraft
Introduction to air safety:
